I dunno, leave you lot for a few days, and you can't even get any info on i13 yet! Bunch of slackers!!

Restaurant free WiFi FTW!

Am not! I'm in the departure lounge, stealing wifi on my pda!

No chance! Airporrt wifi ftw!

Right, last post! Leaving in an hour, so lots and lots to do!

Try not to destroy the place whilst I'm gone!

Try that when you're a PB, and there are 2 surgeons, a Void Slayer AND an EB all stood next to each other, and you're all out of insps..

Seems like levelling in the 35-40 range is just as awesomely boring, tedious, and slow as it ever was, mind you.

[/ QUOTE ]

But that's where most of their effort has been directed recently - the RWZ and the Midnighters/Cimerora give you plenty of things to do at 35.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but those sodding legionaries are a PAIN! Especially the ruddy surgeons!

Actually, I have a progress update for you with regards the forums .

Dungeon Runners has now switched over to the new software (vBulletin), which they have been testing for a while. Assuming everything goes smoothly with the DR implementation, you can expect new CoH forums running on vBulletin to appear soon™. No, I can't give you an exact date.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thank the lord, I absolutely love vBull and it's about time this forum used it :P

[/ QUOTE ]

I just hope they address all the issues I and a few others raised when it was in beta.

Such as no "Remember Me" on the login, and sessions not persisting when you close your browser, and getting auto-signed out after 15 minutes of inactivity... Because that would be even MORE annoying than the errors!

I think they'd rather we look at it in game than on here though.

Bwahahahahaha!

/me punches air "Yes!"

Be about a little tomorrow, in between packing and stuff. Gone from Tuesday though!

It's a long going problem that's been going on for months and months. We ARE getting new board software, but it will take time to get setup properly.

Have a good trip, and see you when you get back. Think of it... all that swealtering heat, the fierce sun burning down on you, all that walking, all those French people, no game, no forums, no MSN...

Glad it's not me!

You forgot the inlaws too...

Im not here to insult you or anyone else. I wasnt happy with your reality comment quite honestly so slapped you back.
i have been on the recieving end of many of your barbed smiley comments before, FFM.

You need more practice.

Oh man... I am SO gonna miss this forum whilst I'm away... All the entertainment...

[ QUOTE ]
By the way, Tanks are still valuable members of the team. Its only the optimised ones that dont gain benefit from them but then, thats true of any class.

I've done hundereds of missions, as im sure everyone has, without a defender or controller. And as long as the mix is ok, then we're fine. In fact, that's the time Tankers really do become the big man (person) of the team.

[/ QUOTE ]

Y'know... I have this feeling that you've totally missed the point of both SG's and the game as a whole; that of having FUN. When it becomes work, of or no benefit; then it's time to stop playing.

I personally couldn't care LESS what the mix of the team is. Good, bad, insanely stupid. The criteria *I* apply to a good team is FUN FUN FUN.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure if youre having a laugh here. We have discussed this before which is how I know.
And unless you have decided to build one since then you arent a leader. And if you are a leader of a LARGE SUCCESFUL one then you wouldnt dispute the crying need for major SG attention. Which was the point that brought you over to my post in the first place.


[/ QUOTE ]

The issue here is what you would consider a LARGE SUCCESFUL supergroup. My criteria for that isn't the same as yours, and Max's isn't the same as mine. Success isn't based on that stupid leaderboard the game shows; success is based entirely on subjective issues.

[ QUOTE ]

If Max thinks that SGs are sufficently or nearly sufficently loved by this game then he isnt a main leader of an SG. Unless hew enjoys doing the work the game should be doing for him.
Can I be any clearer?


[/ QUOTE ]

See above. It's ALL subjective. You can't go saying anyone isn't a main leader of an SG just because he doesn't agree with YOUR criteria for such.

[ QUOTE ]

And respectfully, you cant comment on how much sheer out of gameplay hours is required to maintain such a group.

[/ QUOTE ]

I run a private forum. I run a private IRC server. Hell, I also run a private FTP server too. I know just what kind of outside hours are required to maintain stuff, and if you think a single moment of it ISN'T fun, then you need to seriously get out of leading SGs.

[ QUOTE ]

I'm sure. But at least it would attract an audience cause im alive, controversal and always trying to look for better solutions.


[/ QUOTE ]

REALLY not sure you'd want to be on P&T's TV show.

[ QUOTE ]

I dont think one with you would attract an audience beyond the paint drying society. I mean that nicely of course.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice or not, that's a direct personal insult. Tut tut.

Actually, I've been on TV a few times. Neither programme was of the paint drying variety.

[ QUOTE ]
Ahem. This is off topic. However, of all the things you ARE conversant in, being the main leader of a succesful SG isnt one of them.

You're the one who cant possibily know what's involved in getting one up to scratch and keeping it there for a long period of time. And 80% of what we have to do should be done for us.


[/ QUOTE ]

And how do you know that, hmmm? You don't know me, you don't know all my characters. How can you possibly know that I may or may not be the leader of an SG? Do you base it on my lack of posts about SG's? Maybe I'm happy with how my SG is run, and know enough about the game to not need to ask questions?

You DON'T know the answer to that, so you can't say what I do or don't know. Just like you can't say what Max does or doesn't know. Knowledge does not begin and end with you, matey.

[ QUOTE ]

One thing you'll never get me on is this subject.


[/ QUOTE ]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHA!!!

[ QUOTE ]

You cant comment on how much value an SG gives to its members because you cant look at it from the ground up.

And respectfully, you cant comment on how much sheer out of gameplay hours is required to maintain such a group.

[/ QUOTE ]

You know, there's a great show on American TV I really must put you up for; they'd LOVE you!

Penn & Teller host it.

THAT is an understatement...

Well.. I'm taking my laptop, but even I'm not mad enough to pay £1.50 per mb roaming data charges!

Now, if there's a wifi hotspot within range...

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final villain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
I'll win the fight, of which I'm certain.

I've played a game that's full.
I've traveled each and every zoneway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it in Skyway.

Faceplants, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did, what I had to do
And saw it through without exemping.

I planned each long taskforce;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it in Skyway.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate the debt and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it in Skyway.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it in Skyway.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not his game, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it in Skyyyyyywaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!


Yep, you read right folks. Monday is a sad sad day indeed as I take that final trip, that long walk in to the darkness, that final journey through the city I've come to love so much since EU beta...

I'm leaving you all for pastures new.
















To go to St Tropez for 10 days!!

You cant possibly be a Leader of a successful Sg and not understand that the game needs massive SG support. Unless you view CoH as work not play that is.

[/ QUOTE ]

*ahem*

You're not Max, so you can't POSSIBLY say what he can or cannot do.

[ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, who cares about game balance, Castle should be fixing SG's or something.

[/ QUOTE ]

As for the SG crack, you are absolutely correct as any leader of any successful Sg will tell you.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you'll find Max was being sarcastic there...

Castle is the powers guy, Any changes to SG code would be absolutely bugger all to do with him.

Tiger White (Ellie) lives on a tropical island in the south seas.
Tiger Dark (Eloise) lives in Skyway City, in the Unity Vigil Tower
Burned Ice lives in Skyway City, in the New Vigilants tower
Novastar. lives in Skyway City, in the Unity Vigil Tower

The others, not really thought about!

Since their new method of payment will likely cost more than their old one, I'd say it's fair.

[/ QUOTE ]

^^ This.

People are just whinging because they see someone getting something they're not getting. People like this ALWAYS ignore things such as these people having to pay a little more for their sub now, as well as the inconvenience of having to remember to resub manually every 2 months.

Don't make me call the whaaaambulance!

One last thing, I fully expect EA to really jump on the MMO bandwagon in a big way soon.

[/ QUOTE ]

*coughWARcough*

[/ QUOTE ]

Aren't EA just publishing WAR? I mean buying out or starting their own Dev studio or something.

Hmmm, it would appear they own Mythic. I guess most large publishers will be looking for space in MMO land. After all, no pay, no play. Piracy isn't an option with most MMO's.

[/ QUOTE ]

And they own Bioware too, so that's KOTORO with them as well. (That's the whole reason FOR the acquisition in the first place!)
